Is It Okay To Daisy Chain Power Strips. Power strips and dangerous daisy chains. These devices are only approved to provide power to a specific number of electrical appliances, and daisy chaining them increases that number and creates a potential fire risk. The main problem with daisy chaining is that it is against many safety codes and standards—including osha (occupational safety and health administration), the nfpa. Daisy chaining of power strips cannot be made safe, but assuming you will be doing this anyway, you can reduce the risks. Daisy chaining power strips can cause electrical overloads and circuit overload, leading to fires, electrocution, and device. At least in the us all power strips are fused or have circuit breakers, so in theory they should be safe with respect to overcurrent. The supply of readily available electrical outlets is inadequate in some older buildings. Extension cords or surge protected power strips are often interconnected, or “daisy chained,” to readily provide more outlets and/or to reach greater distances.
